Multipurpose Tool

Abstract

A multipurpose hammer tool with a balanced weight. The multipurpose hammer comprises a lighter weight head attached to one end of an ergonomically configured handle. A foot claw is attached to the opposite end of the ergonomically configured handle. The foot claw is weighted to balance the weight of the multipurpose hammer so that the head may be lighter requiring less force to swing the hammer. The foot claw is curved to pull out nails with leverage. The head comprises a hexagonal face for striking nails with a pair of magnetic nail catches on the top and bottom. A foot claw end of the head has straight tines for pulling nails close to a wall or corner where a curved claw would not fit.
